mix the red stuff

it's been ages since i touched my blog and I start with "Mix the stuff from this jar with that from another one, it's good!" 

Well, you always have to start somehow, with something, even when it might sound like a very uncool kitchen advice.

Okay, it all began in Vietnam, where i thought i was eating this red stuff, but i seriously doubt it was the same thing. 

When you don't manage to go to Tibet...

Tibet comes to you. really...just keep your arms open

Going to the seaside

I like the sea here. Not for swimming in summer (here i prefer the other three seasons), but just for going there. 

to take pictures, to be free, to play

Bella Garbatella

i happened to be in Rome in the last days of 2011 and first of 2012. 

1.1.2012 noonish, empty streets with news from past year

Damn i love Rome! It's been my second time, so i was partially ready. And also i could watch places from other perspective, see things i would miss on the first sight. Still, i got caught by the magic of the city, got lost many times just to find myself behind a place i was thinking about half an hour ago to go to.

Er Grottino der Traslocatore, place to go for a local lunch (big portions of good stuff!) 

But this one is not about Rome. Well, it is, but not about whole Rome, just about the quarter where we stayed at Alessio's place. About Garbatella.

i'm afraid i've caught poetry

as is in the Monty Python sketch...well, sometimes i happen to feel the urge to put some words on paper and play around with them. like yesterday. here's one thing from the afternoon train...

Let there be precious metals!

Worked with precision and sense! Just recently i checked out the work of my dear distant cousin Ondřej Kotyza, who started by making armour and swords, when i was...this small...

and by now got to Damascus steel and some Japanese techniques i have never heard about before and gold/silver/titanium jewelry. But hey, wow! Okotoko rules!

More pictures up!

Hahaa, finally i managed to put together and upload pictures from Pavel Fajt's concerts in October at Zach's Pub and at Prusiny! Especially the second one was really nice. Pity it's only images now...
But perhaps when i buy a new camera...
